Church Micro 2859…Seal
SEAL :-The name probably comes from the Anglo-Saxon sole or sol meaning ‘a muddy slough, a wallowing place’ or ‘a pond which overflows’ and refers to the pond at the corner of Grove Road and Park Lane which still overflows from time to time.
There was a Church here even before Doomsday, though the present building only dates from about 1300. The splendid tower was added in 1529.
The old parish included the present day parish of Kemsing and stretched from the top of the North Downs, across the Vale of Holmesdale, and beyond Underriver on the other side of the Greensand Ridge,
The oldest parts of the Church, date from the 13th Century, is dedicated to St Peter and St Paul: the ecclesiastical parish only became separate from Kemsing in 1874, although there may well have been a Saxon church on the site of the present building.
Visitors to the church, which is normally open during the day, can pick up a free guide leaflet pointing out features of interest.
At the given Co-ords you will find a family Grave with low iron railings around it, just to the west of the War memorial.
